Hepatitis C Support Group

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

what do you think?

If you were asked by the liver fodation or some other group to become a spokesperson for hep c whould you do it?

I do strongly believe I could help the world understand a lot more about hep C by being a spokesperson. Once people are informed things may change for us heppers (well, I'm hoping they would anyway!).

My girls told me they had a young lady recently come to their school and speak on jail life. They learnt a great deal from her. I feel in my heart that I should do whatever I can to inform the world. I think everyone should be tested so we really could see we have a silent epidemic happening here!

When I was in the Bahamas last week on vacation we were on a safari trip. The bus driver mentioned they had the highest amount of aids but that was because everyone was tested for it! I thought "Wow!...that's excellent; at least they are not shoving this issue under the rug!" I believe that if we did find out exactly how many people in the world were infected with hep c people would understand how serious this is...maybe we would get a lot more donations and efforts on finding a cure. What do you think?

I know I kinda asked two questions here but feel free to answer either one or both.

I am afraid there are still ignorant and uneducated people in this world. People around by area still think that only Gay men can catch Aids and only IV drug abusers catch Hep C. How can you educate these people? Governments are not interested as they only want to line their own pockets and if it does not affect them then tough. We can only hope that things gets better. But after all the heartache I have had since &quot;coming out of the closet&quot;, I think it will be a long time. There are also so many diseases, cancers etc that people just get on with their own lives and sweep everything else under the carpet. Sorry to be so downtrodden about this but that is life. The rich can carry on drinking and buy a new liver when they want it but the poor just die. What a world we live in. Take care Lorraine

GEEEEEEEEEEEE?????????? Let me think on this one???? Oh &quot;HELL&quot; &quot;YES&quot; ! I got my first taste of speakin in front of the Nev, St. Legislation a few weeks ago. And I didnt even cuss at all ! My Miss Darla is educating me on speakin proper, And what ever you say in front of the camera's make sure you demand quote for quote on your statements, Dont let them feed on their own bullshit stories to make them look good in the publics eye.

In my heart of hearts I would like to do this, for this is my area...writing, persuasive speech, and when I first got diagnosed I was so obcessive on learning everything I tend I know more than my regular dr lol. I just wish I was brave enough to do it. After what I went through when I tried to apply for some assistance while on this treatment, and how even dr's treated me with their stereo-types I'm too afraid to do it. I've come out to my friends, and that's about it. That alone has made me so insecure. I really admire those who can stand up. I truly wish I could find it within myself to because I know I could help make a difference like many others. I'm just not sure if I can find that courage, though I want to so badly.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
